The various studies surrounding the literature of philosophy of mind bring us closer to the understanding of consciousness from physicalists, naturalists and eliminativists studies, which, for the most part, succumb to the problem of dualism (Cartesian inheritance).The Searlean theory of emergentism makes its contribution on the nderstanding of the nature of consciousness from the contribution of neurosciences, without falling into reductionisms and presents an alternative to overcome dualism. Nevertheless, when analyzing Searle’s naturalistic theory, it is evident that this is insufficient to understand the nature of the mental phenomenon, besides falling into a new dualism: nature/society. For this reason, this paper will analyze the Searlean theory of consciousness, in order to propose language asa constituent element of the nature of this mental state, and not as a product derived from the mind. That is, a biopragmatic conception of consciousness is proposed; study in which it is maintained that biology and pragmatics of language are sine qua non conditions for the existence of higher levels of consciousness and overcome the natural/social dualism. |
